Cheap flights from Tel Aviv Yafo to New York

Book two to three months ahead for December travel. That is when fares typically drop on this route. Weekday departures cost less than weekend flights. Prices climb during school holidays and around the winter holidays when families travel. Consider November or January as alternatives if December suits you.

Arkia and Israir fly direct from Tel Aviv to New York. TAP Portugal offers connections through Lisbon with full-service comfort. Iberia Express, Egyptair and Tarom also operate on this route. Wizz Air Malta is a low-cost option for European connectors. Check what each carrier includes before booking.

Arriving late at Newark or John F Kennedy means limited public transport options. La Guardia sits closest to Manhattan but has fewer international flights. All three airports offer taxi services and shuttle connections into the city. Plan extra time if you arrive after dark.
